good if you want a more heavy metal sound

i've tried using the d-6 with not much success. it just sounds too much like heavy metal--hard on the beater sound. instead, i've been using the d-4 which sounds more natural.

Audix D6 
by Anonymous , March 2006

I"ve been a gigging drummer for many years, mainly in a 3 piece rock n roll band. To mic my 20 inch -kick I have tried a few kick mics - from cheap Sound Kings through AKG D112s and Shure B52s to the Beyer M88. The Audix D6 is the most hassle-free (in terms of positioning, EQing, gain width and overall sound)I have used - period.

the clip on this thing!!!

Well, I have to say that I am pretty happy to own the D-6. Audix has slowly been winning me over, but I was still pretty apprehesive to just buy a mic without testing it first. A close friend had used them quite a bit, and recommended them over other similar mics. It's everything I had hoped sonically, but the most impresive thing to me is the clip! I love the locking wheel, instead of the typical friction style clips. Go Audix, and I hope other manufacturers take a cue from this.

This audix d6 mic is great on a kickdrum, but it also adds a exhilaratingly pulsating punch to a floor tom.
